Honestly I suggest Flamethrower, as it'll allow you to break walls such as Ferrothorn and Skarmory, who take little damage from Chompy's STAB moves. Also, I Fire Blast is an option for hitting those Pokemon harder. Stone Edge will get great coverage but Flamethrower is more useful IMO.

I agree that Flamethrower is very useful, but normally, the attack stat of Garchomp is way higher than the special attack stat. That being said, Stone Edge will do more damage to the opponent, and it has a high critical-hit ratio. The only downside of using Stone Edge over Flamethrower on Garchomp is that it has less accuracy and PP.

Ah, I see where you're coming from... I also didn't realize Garchomps base Sp. Atk. was an 80, which isn't too bad... His attack is still a lot higher, though. I guess which moves he chooses also kind of depends on his other moves, though. Still, you might want to add what you told me to your answer.
